My brother Spencer's wife Amberlyn and her family invited us all out for a boating day at the lake. We had so much fun! We all got to wakeboard and ride the tubes. My brother Spencer showed us all how wakeboarding is done with his sweet tricks and mad skills! Abby had never wakeboarded and she got up on her first try and tore it up. Me I just follow the boat, no tricks and nothing special. Just hold on and SMILE!!! We also went for tube rides. They had 2 tubes and we put both out on the water and then 2 people could ride on each tube. I am a bit nervous about riding the tubes cause I have been thrown off a time or two and it does not feel very nice, so I was a little intimidated. Too make my anxiety worse, I had to worry about the tubing wars that were about to take place. Little did I know that holding on was not going to be the hardest part, just staying on was a task in its own. Spencer and Amber and Melissa were jumping from one tube to the other while we are being pulled behind the boat. We played king of the tube and tried to knock the others off and be the last one standing. I just held on for my life and stayed put til I could not hold on any longer, mostly trying to hold on while laughing so hard I was crying. I could not stop laughing! I even got a big carpet burn on my elbow from it rubbing on the tube. By the end of the day we had all had plenty of fun and plenty of sun. We all went home and crashed! Thanks Neilsen family for taking us on an awesome adventure!!!
